Executive summary:

Study performed in accordance with ASTM D97-11. The test method covers and is intended for use on any petroleum product.

 

After preliminary heating, the sample is cooled at a specified rate and examined at intervals of 3°C for flow characteristics. The lowest temperature at which movement of the specimen is observed is recorded as the pour point.

 

Result:

Pour Point: -39 °C
